GlobalSign to Demo New SSL Hosting Technology at HostingCon 2011

GlobalSign offering live demonstrations, OneClickSSL, at cPanel TV, OnApp & GlobalSign booths

Leuven, BE - August 4 2011 - GlobalSign (www.globalsign.eu), a specialist in SSL Partner Programs, today announced that it will be demonstrating its newest SSL technology and delivery mechanism, OneClickSSL, at the premier conference and trade show for the hosted industry- HostingCon, held at the San Diego Convention Center.

Demonstrations include presentations at cPanel's TV booth and OnApp's booth discussing the benefits of OneClickSSL technology integrated into the cPanel and OnApp platforms. In addition at GlobalSign's booth, Wahid Aziz, Product Manager at Webfusion/123-Reg will be conducting presentations throughout the day on how GlobalSign's Partner program has helped Webfusion/123-Reg maximize its revenues and become one of the top hosters of SSL Certificates.

OneClickSSL, GlobalSign's revolutionary new SSL technology, automates the SSL reselling process and was designed specifically with hosting companies in mind, as it offers a completely automated way to resell SSL Certificates. OneClickSSL rewrites the SSL paradigm by moving away from the traditional error prone process of SSL provisioning and replacing it with an automated "click to Activate SSL" workflow easily understood by customers of all technical abilities. With OneClickSSL, users simply activate SSL for their website by redeeming Secure Site vouchers via any of the OneClickSSL plug-ins, available via platforms including cPanel, Parallels, IIS, and Apache. Redemption of the voucher using the plug-in transparently creates the cryptographic keys, the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), validates the control of the domain, installs the issued certificate and binds it to the appropriate website, all within 45 seconds, thus eliminating the support overhead for the hosting company, and leaving hosting companies to focus on their core business and increase profits from SSL.

"GlobalSign has been leading the way in terms of innovation in the SSL industry and for hosting companies to expand their business and maximize revenues from reselling SSL Certificates since the inception of its partner program", says Steve Roylance, Business Development Director for GlobalSign and key architect behind the OneClickSSL technology. "OneClickSSL is 10-15 times faster than any competitive delivery mechanism and with virtually zero support overhead; GlobalSign is once again providing the most advanced Partner Program currently available."
